Not sure there's enough for a standalone article (would be funny!), but in case the extra sources are helpful...

Merge with Neartown?

[edit]

Should Montrose and Neartown articles be merged? The Neartown Association boundaries are the same as the Montrose boundaries. Sandcherry (talk) 03:21, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sandcherry, We have Montrose District, Houston, Montrose District, Houston, and Neartown Houston. Surely some merging is in order here... @WhisperToMe: FYI! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:43, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer: Montrose District, Houston was specifically written about a management district (a type of local government under Texas law, see this PDF for details) that was abolished due to a blacklash from the local residents. It could be merged or it could be given its own article as its status would have been similar to that of a municipality. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:21, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer: @Sandcherry: I'm ready to do a merge request between this and Neartown, Houston since both are now using the same definition. Any objecions? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No objections here! ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Me neither. Good luck! Sandcherry (talk) 16:11, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Montrose characterizations in the Texas Monthly article

[edit]

In "The Roar of the Crowd" in June 1973, section Montrose Ups and Downs, page 7 of Texas Monthly some letters to the editor disputed the "the" in Montrose and other things. Of course they're not reliable sources, but just something to remind people of... WhisperToMe (talk) 09:39, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose merging Neartown Houston into Montrose, Houston. There have been several discussions on both article talk pages questioning Montrose vs. Neartown:

I'd like to settle this once and for all because the two Wikipedia articles currently cover the same geographic area of Houston. User:Sandcherry's explanation in the most recent discussion is quite helpful. Neartown is a larger area, and includes the formal Montrose area. But people generally refer to the larger area as Montrose. I invite editors to discuss how this should be handled so we can either have a single Wikipedia article, or work to differentiate and distinguish the two entries.

@Sandcherry and WhisperToMe: Making you both aware of this discussion, since you participated in previous ones re: Montrose/Neartown. For the record, I am not entirely opposed to keeping both articles as long as they make sense and don't overlap, but right now I find the two pages very confusing because they cover the same topic. I am also not opposed to having a single page called either Montrose, Houston, or Neartown Houston. I proposed merging into Montrose because I was born and raised in Houston and never said "I'm going to Neartown". I, too, referred to this area generally as Montrose.

Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:54, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge as the Neartown Association states that Neartown and Montrose are generally thought of as being the same thing. Use the HISD school zone info for the more expansive Neartown Association and Super Neighborhood definitions. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:57, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as the articles generally describe the same geographical area and locals (and others) refer to the area as Montrose. Sandcherry (talk) 18:33, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Separate and change the articles to make it clear they are talking about two different geographical areas. Montrose refers to the neighborhood specifically, while Neartown refers to the larger geographic area and actual Houston Super Neighborhood which includes non-Montrose neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Courtlandt Place.Rogue Commander (talk) 21:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Which Montrose neighborhood or neighborhoods constitute Montrose? There are three neighborhoods that include Montrose in their names - First Montrose Commons, East Montrose and North Montrose. Should the Montrose article include all or some of them, and any other additional neighborhoods? What would be the basis for inclusion?

Closing, given that there is no likelihood of consensus with a stale discussion for almost a year. Klbrain (talk) 09:23, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
